Error:
Not able

Problem occurred while contacting to the
server. If the problem continues, contact your administrator.
Solution:
It is not uncommon for the web folders / WebDAV support in Windows XP to
just stop working for no apparent reason.
You can usually reinstall the original Web Folders support by finding and
executing webfldrs.msi with specific options.
Webfldrs.msi is probably in one of your system directories. It is easiest to
search for it (remember to set advanced search options to include system and
hidden folders). When you find the program (it’s a normal Microsoft install
package) launch it, then do these steps:
- Click “Select Reinstall Mode”
- Uncheck “Repair all detected reinstall problems”.
- Check “Force all files to be reinstalled, regardless of
checksum or version”.
- Check “Verify that required user registry entries are
present”.
- Check “Verify that required machine registry entries
are present”.
- Check “Validate shortcuts”.
- Press OK
- Click REINSTALL
- Normally no reboot is required.
- Now the web folder client should have been restored as
it was shipped.
